Dr. Nath knew from the time she was seven years old that she wanted to become a doctor. After visiting her cousin in the hospital — all wrapped up in bandages and seeing other patients, “she wanted to make them all well”. From that point forward, her desire was to go to medical school. In her younger years, Dr. Nath became a proficient classical Indian singer and was asked by the government to pursue a career in music. But medicine held her attention and she declined.

She was attracted to Internal medicine as a specialty as she felt it to be essential for understanding and analyzing the medical problems and delivering comprehensive, wholesome care.

In reflecting on her relationships with patients, Dr. Nath states, “It is really a partnership — I do my part in making recommendations for treatment and my patients must do their part—take their medications and follow the recommendations I provide. I encourage all my patients to bring the medicines to their appointments as well as a list of issues they would like to discuss. Patients need to take responsibility for their care — I’m here to help and guide them.”
